Guild Wars 2

As opposed to the FoV we already have now?

First three, far. Last, close.

The programming team said they were looking into the FoV issue. I’m sure they’ll discover whatever bug that’s causing it to be too narrow and get it fixed.

Hmm, so it’s a bug. It’s been a while since the game came out, and they still haven’t found the reason why the FoV is so crappy?

I may have misspoken. According to the programming team, they want to see whether it is bugged right now before they go about actually making any design changes. Arenanet as a group seems to feel very strongly that the current FoV is entirely appropriate. A great many fans disagree, the devs have acknowledged that and are looking into it.

That’s probably all we’re going to hear about it for now.

FoV being as low as it is might be a bug, as ANET seems to think the FoV is 75, not the 65 that people have measured. But that only means that the bug fix will get it to 75, which is still unacceptable.

Since people sit at different distances from their monitors, they will want different FoVs. Thus the only acceptable option is to let us set our own FoV. I don’t see how ANET can spin adding an FoV slider as a bug fix.

Still, if they give us the FoV slider then I’ll be happy.

Give us FoV slider, problem solved.
